America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz-Chapter 549 - 542 The Only Test

On the coastal highway in Malibu, a very ordinary Volkswagen sedan stopped on the side of the road. Bruce, in the driver’s seat, finished a phone call and headed toward the vacation villa area to the north.

He spoke while driving, "Jody took care of the first victim on the list, Angela Oye. This actor, after her misfortune, didn’t get any roles or opportunities but instead was threatened and went back to her hometown. She’s talked to many media outlets about this situation. She says after Ben and Damon got in touch with those media, all the news disappeared."

Martin wasn’t surprised at all; he had read reports in his past life that these two had done similar things more than once.

Bruce continued, "She’s on her way to another victim, Emma O’Connor. They spoke on the phone, and Emma O’Connor mentioned a very interesting case. She named a victim that will definitely surprise you."

"Even Meryl Streep was involved with him in some murky capacity," Martin said with composure. "Could Harvey dare to mess with Sherry Lansing or Catherine Kennedy?"

The latter is Hollywood’s first female producer, while the former is the head honcho at Paramount Pictures. Rumors suggest that Tom Cruise might even have been involved with her.

Bruce replied, "The time Emma O’Connor was assaulted was at the beginning of the new century. Once, she saw a woman running out of Harvey’s room in tears, with a handprint on her face. That woman was Jennifer Siebel Newsom."

"I’ve heard that name!" Martin was sure of this, then remembered what Louise had mentioned about the California Democratic Party representative, this woman.

His expression became quite lively, "The wife of the current San Francisco City Mayor Gavin Newsom!"

Bruce nodded, "That’s her. Before she married Gavin Newsom, she was an actress in Hollywood."

Martin spoke slowly, "Gavin Newsom is a significant figure in the California Democratic Party, and many think he will run for governor in the next few years."

This matter had a great impact on him, "Beauty is also a capital, who knows, with a bit of luck, it could reverse one’s life. Harvey forced so many women, and it turns out some actually made it to the top... Old Cloth, it’s fortunate that our dealings are voluntary and oftentimes, we’re the ones being coerced."

Looking back, how right was the principle of threes!

Bruce empathized deeply, "We two truly have it tough!"

Martin had a feeling that tonight’s hurdle wouldn’t be easy to cross either, and if things went poorly, he might be subjected to unwritten rules by a group.

He had long heard rumors that the Fashion Supermodel Group, led by individuals like AA, KK, and Angela Lindvall, had stringent membership requirements that were not so easy to meet.

Bruce and Martin talked about Siebel’s situation, agreeing that they certainly wouldn’t go looking for her foolishly, but after the incident, they wanted her to see what happened right away.

The Volkswagen drove directly into a vacation villa. A few years back, Martin had organized a role-playing party here, which was where he settled the score with Wes Craven.

Strictly speaking, it was also the starting point of all his conflicts with Harvey.

Georgina wanted to hold a party. Although people like KK and the old fox were co-sponsors, Martin still insisted on hosting the party himself.

The shooting incident from "Inception" seemed unrelated to him, yet it still made Martin extremely alert and even exacerbated his aftereffects from causing trouble.

Martin took a good look inside and around the villa, which was nicely decorated.

The party company representative approached, "Mr. Davis..."

"That’s fine," Martin nodded. He said to Bruce, "Make the payment."

Bruce took out a check and paid the preliminary fees.

The party representative promptly left, and Bruce thoroughly checked everything once more.

As the sun dipped into the sea, a very ordinary van drove into the villa’s yard. As the tall and solid iron gate closed, the South African sweetheart, Candice, was the first to get out of the vehicle.

Big KK, the old fox, Sienna, and others got out of the car one after another.

Angela turned around and led the last person down from the vehicle, Georgina Chapman, who eagerly wanted to join the Fashion Supermodel Group.

The British model and fashion designer was dressed to the nines, exuding a striking figure and appearance.

All four supermodels approached Martin one by one for a hug.

Georgina, the last to come over, hugged Martin and then, spreading her arms, said, "Welcome to Georgina Chapman’s special fashion party."

After speaking, she took a check from her handbag and placed it on the table.

Martin didn’t understand her intention.

Georgina said, "You organized the party, but the money must come from me." She left no room for Martin to refuse, "You must accept it."

This money was from Harvey, and if Martin didn’t accept it, it would deprive Georgina of a certain perverse pleasure.

She wasn’t fooling around; she was well aware of the dirty deeds her husband had done.

Georgina didn’t feel any psychological burden about joining the Fashion Supermodel Group.

Angela Lindvall, the leader of the Fashion Supermodel Group, now approached the long table with food and drinks. She took a bottle of red wine from the ice bucket, poured six glasses, and gestured for everyone to pick up their glass.

She raised her glass and said, "Today is a special moment. Georgina Chapman will undergo the Fashion Supermodel Group’s initiation test. If she passes, she’ll join our ranks. If she fails, she must wait another six months before applying to take the test again."

Everyone took a sip from their glasses in unison.

Big KK said at this moment, "The Fashion Supermodel Group has four members in attendance!" Suddenly, stepping forward, she scrutinized Martin closely, "The sole initiation test is in a normal state, conforming to procedure."

Candice moved a chair over, placing it behind Martin, and said, "Please sit."

Martin upheld his principle and sat in the chair.

Sienna opened the back of the van and took out two big boxes, full of colorful clothes.

Georgina brought Martin a glass of red wine and said, "These are outfits I designed specifically for the party, we five are going to walk the runway, enjoy the show."

Martin nodded his head, savoring the wine and appreciating the fashion show.

Georgina’s designs were quite unique, the clothing mainline with lines and dots, highlighting the natural beauty of people.

They strutted along the poolside catwalk, and when they changed into their last set of clothes, all came to stand next to Martin.

Five against one, the one became a disadvantaged group, becoming the object of coercion.

Just as Old Cloth had said, it really was too tough for Martin.

Yet Georgina was excitedly shouting and cheering.

Tonight, she had undergone the test, fulfilling the sole condition for joining the Fashion Supermodel Group, and had become akin to her members who had tested her.

Angela Lindvall announced, "Georgina Chapman has gone through the sole test and now is officially part of the Fashion Supermodel Group. We are a sisterhood, as well as a mutual aid platform, each within our capabilities, hand in hand, we help each other and strive for the future!"

The only applause sounded, somewhat monotonous.

The applause came from Martin, and when everyone looked over, the shameless man said, "You set me as the only initiation test and condition for joining the Fashion Supermodel Group without my consent, this is bullying!"

Carolina came over to soothe Martin, "We see it this way, you have very high standards, formidable strength, and being an American national hero, ordinary people can’t reach you, and you wouldn’t give a second look to those without enough charm. The ones who can pass your test will certainly be talented individuals. By bringing them in, we also strengthen the power of the Fashion Supermodel Group."

Candice chimed in, "Angela said that if it wasn’t for a fortunate coincidence, attending an AA singles party together, joining the supermodel group wouldn’t have been so easy."

Martin was great at encouragement, "Candy, you are very talented, looking at the entirety of African women, you come second only to Charlize Theron."

Angela Lindvall called out, "Alright, enough of that, the night is still long, let’s celebrate Georgina’s official joining together."

The holiday villa became chaotic inside.

Around eleven at night, Georgina’s phone suddenly rang, the display showing a number from England, she quickly raised a finger, silencing everyone with her gesture.

Angela and Big KK still wanted to fool around, but the good-natured Martin stopped them, asking them to behave for a bit.

On the other end, Harvey asked, "My dear, aren’t you hosting a party tonight? Not at home?"

Georgina wasn’t flustered at all and replied with a laugh, "I rented a seaside villa in Malibu, it’s held here, the party isn’t big, only friends from the fashion circle were invited."

In England, Harvey stood on the hotel balcony and said, "Is that so, don’t stay up too late, it’s bad for the skin."

"We will rest soon and by tomorrow morning I’ll have someone clean up here and then I’ll head back."

Harvey said a few more words and then hung up, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Over the past year, though Georgina had not shown it openly, the subtle feeling of estrangement had become increasingly clear.

Especially with Georgina’s fashion design career, the number of times she reached out to him for help had clearly decreased, and she had truly entered America’s fashion and modeling circles.

This unsettled Harvey a bit.

After pondering for a while without a clue, Harvey’s thoughts shifted back to Martin Davis.

He took out his phone and dialed Ben Affleck’s number, "It’s me! Ben, the child’s been born for a few days, how is your planning going, any new developments?"

In Burbank, Big Ben walked towards the end of the hospital’s long corridor and said, "We can be discharged tomorrow morning. Pitt and I have been keeping an eye on Martin’s movements. In a few days, Martin is going to a public event for Leonardo’s environmental organization, where the media will be all over the place, I plan to take Tony and the child there."

Harvey said, "Good, once you start there, I will talk to some media friends here, to stir up the public interest."

Big Ben said a few more words and then hung up.

On his way back, Pitt had just come over with a late-night snack.

Big Ben said, "We’ll get things rolling at Leonardo’s charity event."

"Sounds good." Pitt had a concern though, "We need to be prepared for the worst – what if Martin admits it on the spot?"

Big Ben had already considered this, "As long as I am there with Tony, Martin will definitely deny it."

It wasn’t hard for Pitt to understand the key issue, and he said, "That makes sense!"
